“September is typically the worst month for hurricanes, so even though we are starting to turn around, if another one forms and hits there [the Gulf Coast] it's just going to add insult to injury.”
Windy Vancuren
“This is a very typical start to a season. It's just very early. Generally it starts about a month later. People are used to burning, and they see a little bit of snow in the woods. They don't realize the grass is all dead and dry.”
Bill Williams
“It was a typical first game of the season, ... Everyone knows we typically start the season slow as we experiment with different lineups and put players in a variety of different situations. We started out the game that way for about the first 25 minutes. Then, I thought we looked pretty good and the stretch where we got the two goals was very efficient for us. We got a little out of shape just after the two goals. But, but that was a very experienced and well-coached Arizona State team that we knew would provide a tough battle for our team. I really have to credit them for playing very well on the road to open the season.”
Jerry Smith
“We are going through kind of a start of what is typically a tough month. We are again going to be focusing more on earnings.”
Evan Olsen
“Typical Moose, he turns it on and gets sharp after a few hits. He looked great. We need him to be huge this season and this is a great starting point.”
Jason Giambi
“March is typically a time of year when prices start to go back up. Spring break really makes people want to get on the roads, and everybody in the country has a spring break at some point in March or April. There's a spike in demand, and prices start to go up in anticipation of it.”
Clay Ingram
“We are in a weak El Nio that started a few months back and is gradually building. Typically what ends up happening is we get more 'cyclogenesis' --the formation of storms -- taking place in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico off of the Texas coast. Once these things form they tend to track towards the Northwest. It puts (Lufkin) in proximity for some rainfall.”
